There seem to be a lot of issues around the specific font issue, functions
used, syntax etc that would be great to get isolated and correct solution
posted FFR.
However I want to also point out the more general issue that you appear to not
have completely absorbed from my and Drew's posts above - see my emphasis above.
By launching with the -q option you are
A) instructing Emacs to launch without ANY init file at all, even if you then
also load a script to be eval'd with the -l option - this is NOT the same as
loading an init file.
And
B) explicitly instructing Emacs to NOT save any configuration changes made
through the Customize facility - as you are informed by a warning message at
startup.
Launching instances of emacs either via another user's session or by scripting
a different $HOME folder before launching emacs as in the thread I pointed out
above is IMO a more straightforward way to test most config/init issues with
clean slate to troubleshoot interference from other packages/scripts normally
loaded in your production setup.
